This is a hardy fuchsia, with small elegant flowers. It can reach over 8' tall eventually.

As I've told you before - the 'frilly' ones are pretty, but I actually prefer the simplicity of these. 'Hawkshead' is my favourite.

Here here!
Must admit though, I have Blackie for the first time this year and I'm rather taken with it. Also Satellite, because it dares to be different.

I have 'Blackie' x 2 from last year, although I haven't planted them out this time.They're keeping me company outside the greenhouse. I like the colouring, too. I don't know 'Satellite'...I'll have to take a look at that one.

It's been a really solid performer for me this year.

Thanks - I did look, and I think your description is very apt. It won't be one that I 'have' to find, though. Sorry, Satellite! :-(

A true king of the Fuchsia world Spritz. The proportions and shade of this are near perfect in my opinion.
